Its time to clean up our own backyard

Tuesday 24 March 2009, Northern Johannesburg, 15h04, emails from friends and collegues are warning of shots being fired in several lacations as well as intimidation of commuters and drivers alike.

I hit the internet news channels to get further information only to find the main story is about how we denied the Dalai Lama a visa!

Yes, sure, we all know how the goverment screws up sometimes, maybe they know something we dont, maybe Mr Lee (of the China Mall fame) and Mr Agliotti (of pretty much everything fame) were involved, maybe the Dalai Lama has Shabir's real medical records...

WE JUST DONT KNOW!

My point?

All lifes questions are answered in the movies.

In the 1995 movie kiss of death, just before beating a guy to death, gangster Little Junior Brown (Nicholas Cage) gives a little speech about cleaning up ones own backyard.

Tibet is far away, I actually heard the gun shots on Grayston.

On a lighter note, what happens when a frog's car breaks down?

It gets toad.

Inbox conversation

"wow, you look different"

"do I?"

"you've done something different, haven’t you?"

"Yes, I have a new email address"

"It looks so good, I can't believe you took that long to change that other dorky one, this one is much better"

"um, the new address is only temporary while we change servers, I am going back to the old address tomorrow"

Went to the theatre last night.

Watched Elections & Erections, the lastest offering of Pieter-Dirk Uys.

Was a pleasant change from crying to laughing re: our political landscape.

Standing in front of the urinal during the interval I was unable to wee while someone else was standing next to me.

I put it down to stage fright.

Go have a weekend.

The hand of God

As we all know Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife, Susan, was tragically killed in a car crash late last week.

On tuesday thousands of people attended memorial services in Harare, during which President Robert Mugabe said the crash was the "hand of God".

I really dont see how Diego Maradona could have been invloved AGAIN!!!!

Is this funny only in MY head....or is it just me?

Q & A

Instead of desperately looking for answers rather concentrate your efforts on asking the right questions. Once you've done this, the answers will come looking for you.
